The following information is being furnished under Item 12 of Form 8-K "Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and is included under this Item 9 in accordance with SEC Release NO. 33-8216 (March 27, 2003).

On April 29, 2003, BMC Industries, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing first quarter 2003 financial results and providing earnings guidance for the second quarter of 2003. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934 (as amended), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The Company intends that certain matters disclosed in this Current Report (including the exhibit hereto) are "Forward-Looking Statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are Forward-Looking Statements. Forward-Looking Statements may be identified by the use of words such as "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "projects", "intends", "plans", "predicts", and similar expressions. Forward-Looking Statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause, and in certain instances have caused, actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected, including, among others, ability to manage working capital and align costs with market conditions; ability to maintain consistently high customer service levels and product fill rates at Vision-Ease; ability to increase sales of products at Vision-Ease; eventual outcome of the company's outstanding litigation; further aperture mask price declines; slowdown in growth of, or price reductions in, high-end lens products; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; rising raw material costs; ability to improve operating and manufacturing efficiencies through consolidation of facilities; the ability to achieve FDA approval for production of medical products at its Cortland facility; ongoing economic uncertainty and the affect of war or other conflict on the company's operations; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet debt service obligations; the ability to meet future financial covenants related to, and the ability to negotiate financing arrangements in addition to, or in replacement of, its current existing senior credit facilities. These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in further detail in BMC's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Forward-Looking Statements included in this Current Report (including the exhibit hereto) are made only as of April 29, 2003, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly such Forward-Looking Statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.
